"The whole area is just inundated with this stuff," one resident said. "I don't know where the trucks are. They're not around here."
That resident doesn't want to believe wealthier communities have been given greater priority in the cleanup. Town officials say they have not.
Some homeowners say they just hope the debris gets picked up by spring.
Officials say crews are working as fast as they can and are going to the hardest-hit neighborhoods first.
